The business of my last name

Jelani Women Travel 2019

Because I've created two companies, many people think that Ashley N. Company is one of them...and maybe it will be one day.But for now, it really is only the last name on my birth certificate. I am a world travel expert, international storyteller, and socialentrepreneur who founded Jelani Women - Company #1 and a non-profit, Jelani Girls - Company #2.

Jelani Women aims to be the TOMS® of service travel for black women and girls. As long as women sign up to have an epic vacation with a purpose, underserved teen girls will always have an opportunity to participate in Jelani Girls cultural enrichment program culminating into their very own international travel experience.

The primary purposes of Jelani Girls are:-To engage their peers from the host country-To empower themselves to become global citizens -To explore a locale different from their own backyard.

The primary purpose of #JelaniWomenTravel is to help Black women across the globe reimagine Africa by connecting them with other members of the diaspora through travel and service. We do this through:​-Exceptionally curated travel experiences designed by a Black woman for Black women -Enriching conversations with women from the host country who work in similar industries-A day of vacation dedicated to serving youth abroad based on the various skills and passions of our travelers

Storyteller

I've visited, worked, and volunteered in more than 70 countries. I've curated transformative experiences for hundreds of women and girls and I've left an impact on thousands of people across the globe. From poverty to academic excellence, military service, relentless activism and solo world travel, I've gained a lifetime of experience before the age of 30. As an inspirational storyteller, I can relate to any audience because of my diverse background and would love to address yours.
